Lens is a Carl Zeiss Jena Tessar 2,8/50 T. It is off a Practika. It has
an exceptionally deep mount that goes behind the rear element to allow
some kind of filter, corrector lens, whatever to screw in at the back.
Problem is not the Fujica, as I tried it on some other brands and models
at a show/swap meet. Someone suggested that it might fit a Honeywell Hx
body, but who knows. Mechanical construction is such that the rear
extension can't be simply cut off. I was interested both to see how good
such an old first generation coated standard lens might be and to see
what a 14 blade diaphram did to bokeh. All moot for the moment, as the
project turned into too much trouble. Too bad, as the glass is perfect
and it sure operates smoothly since I cleaned and lubed it.
Hey, maybe it will fit on a D300, with the modified mirror action! As a
true preset design, it should actually be more convienient than an auto
lens adapted to the EOS mount. Back to the future?

Some of the screw mount bods were tricky - Mamiyas and Fujicas in
particular.
